Annoying, my computer has little/no internet connection these days.
Actually, all the computers at home can’t connect well.
And it had to happen on E-LEARNING days.
I can’t do anything online, the connection keeps going on and off.
Feeling so bored and anxious here, not knowing what to do.
Hence I decided to blog in word first, and transfer it to my blog when there’s a little connection later.
Thank goodness Bobo lent me his Econs and Math notes to copy, or else I really have nothing to show the teachers tomorrow.
And its not that I didn’t try to download those annoying files.
Last night I sat in front of the computer from 9pm to 2am trying to load the lectures, but nothing seems to load.
Seeing that it was so late and that I was supposed to go to school early tomorrow, I decided to let the modem rest while I went to sleep.
Received a message early this morning that the earlier meeting was cancelled, thus I decided to try my luck accessing those lecture series etc.
However, my computer couldn’t even be switched on, there was this funny pattern on the screen and it just refuses to load.
So, I went to the study room to try the other computer.
The good news was that I managed to switch on the computer.
The bad news was that the connection was haywire.
And I couldn’t even click on anything on IVLE, which was in an even worse condition than last night’s.
I spent more than an hour trying to load the website, and after much frustration, all I managed to view was a blank page.
And the loading speed of the web pages was as good as zero.
Thus, feeling extremely irritated, I complained to Bobo who was online as well.
Thankfully, he lent me his notes so at least I would have done something for e-learning.
Anyway, I went to Whitesands at 1pm just now to meet Justin and Kenneth for logistics’ buying of stuff.
There was supposed to be 8 people in logistics, but only the 3 of us were able to turn up.
After reaching NTUC, we realized that today was BYOBD (Bring Your Own Bag Day).
Therefore, we hand carried all the goods to the bus to school.
Luckily we bought garbage bags as well; all we did was to dump the aluminum trays and foil, towel, disposable plates, cups, spoons, forks and serviettes, bamboo skewers, brush, tongs and firestarters into a garbage bag.
Being a girl has its privileges at times like this, because I only had to carry the 3kg box of charcoal, compared to Justin who had to carry the 4kg bag of charcoal and Kenneth who had to carry that garbage bag.
When we entered the ODAC room, we learnt a lesson, which was not to buy extra stuff anymore thinking “We can always stock it in the ODAC room!” because, the ODAC room really has a lot a lot of stuff which all the previous batches must have thought that way too.
And those items left behind didn’t look very clean, so we decided to use the old cleaner utensils first, and put the dirtier utensils into another plastic bag as we might be able to use them for future games.
We also tried to help Justin as he labeled all the shelves.
And we tried to tidy up some shelves while sorting out the items we need for the BBQ.
After cleaning up, Bobo came to join us in the ODAC room after he just bought his grand piano.
Then they decided to play carom. I didn’t know how to play carom at all, so I didn’t join in the first round they played.
Instead, I watched them play while enjoying the full blast of the fan at my face.
But after seeing them play finish the first round, I was tempted to join in the fun.
So I played the next round. It was so fun, and me and Bobo won!
Then we played another round. Me and Bobo almost won, but as a new rule was just implemented that round, we lost by a mere one seed.
Imagine, we were leading 8 seeds to 1, but just could not shoot in the last seed consecutive with the pink one. So Justin and Kenneth managed to catch up and won us by that narrow bit. If not for that rule, we would have won that round long ago!
It was rather an exciting game, and we all had fun playing it!
Then we left for our homes respectively as it was getting late.
Anyway, I am not looking forward to school tomorrow because I will be getting back most of my mid year results and also I haven’t done the required stuff for e-learning.
Hopefully I am lucky tomorrow.
